Convert to Varchar Problem

[Beatrix Willius]

Hi Ivan,

thinking a bit more about your reply, I now believe that you are correct. IsUnique doesn't make sense for Text fields. This raises 3 questions:

- Should't this be impossible to compile?
- Why does it work for me but not for my customer?
- How do I best fix this for my customer? Fortunately, the software hasn't been released, yet. So it's only a handful, who have this version. Can I simply ignore the error and quietly change the field back to string?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
